ideal location, okay building
Pros
charming exposed brick apartments on a very quiet, beautiful block. i would choose this apartment again and again just for the location
Cons
rat-infested trash covered courtyard. unresponsive super. all appliances/plumbing in the back building is extremely old and constantly breaking. steep stairs and no laundromat on this block
Quiet, small building
Pros
Affordable, great location, responsive super
Cons
Landlord is in this for a cash grab and raises rent dramatically every renewal while doing nothing to properly upkeep the buildings or respond to tenant issues. Building security is nonexistent, they haven't even bothered to put proper locks on the front door. An exterminator is offered every month because the buildings are infested with mice and there are rats running rampant in the courtyard because the LL can't even be bothered to put in a proper dumpster. Unless you're desperate, find another place.
